She emotionally continued: 'I think when something like this happens I just feel so grateful. I've always been grateful, I've been really lucky in my life. But I feel unbeliveably grateful right now. So thanks for everything all of you. I'm on the mend, I'm resting, I'm sleeping loads and I feel really good. I just feel very lucky.'
